DEMOCRAT AND CHRONICLE, ROCHESTER, N.Y.. TUESDAY. APRIL 26, 1983 City school district trimming budget Brockport man wins the touch-a-thon FROM PAGE 1B FROM PAGE 1B supplying the food. It's all donations. It's all volunteers," she said.

Washington, 26, of 65 Ward St, and Moore, 24, of 169 Willowbrook Drive, Brockport, had outlasted 27 other contestants yesterday. Many of the dropouts were on the sidelines to cheer them on. The two passed Linda Wolfanger's winning time of 73 hours, 49 minutes last year. Wol-fanger, of Springwater, lasted 73 hours this year, dropping out at 12:02 a.m. Saturday.

"My knees were killing me," said Leonette Trudeau who dropped out at 3 a.m. Sunday after 57 Vt hours. Trudeau, 24, of 220 Wild-briar Road, brought ankle supports and fresh socks for Washington. Washington kept time to the music on WDKX radio, listening on headphones. Moore rocked back and forth, listening to rock music on tapes.

"Some man we didn't know stopped by with a tape for Brian this moming," said Moore's mother, Pat of 1905 Dublin Road, Penfield, who has been making daily trips to the mall with a fresh supply of Mountain Dew. Under the contest rules, the contestants must touch a red spot on the car in a position determined by the Kidney Foundation volunteers and maintain the position for four hours. Van Thof and the volunteers came up with 30 different positions, including touching the car with the little finger or touching with a hip. Contestants get a 15-minute break every four hours to go to the bathroom, eat a meal, change socks and move around. "Getting everything done in 15 minutes was the hardest part," said Coreen Wolfanger, 29, of Dansville, who dropped out after 51 hours.

"I had a ball but I'm glad I dropped out," Wolfanger said. "I was losing it The prospect of going home to my water bed was too much." her back and moved away from the car," she said. Van Thof said she had been up for 70 hours herself. Although Van Thof said she had confirmed the record with several different radio stations, she said, they couldn't agree on where or when it was Set Earlier, fatigue and pain seemed to have vanished as Washington asked her brother to bring her Gloria Vanderbilt jeans and ruffled blouse for a live television appearance. Moore asked his mother for another six-pack of Mountain Dew.

"After all this, I think we should both win," Washington said earlier, reflecting the camaraderie that has built up between the two. The real competition was on the sidelines, as incredulous onlookers placed bets on their favorite, and stores began to offer prizes for the runner-up. The touch-a-thon is a fund-raiser for the Kidney Foundation of Upstate New York and has already raised $36,000. The car, valued at $6,875, was donated by Scutti Pontiac-Datsun and Scut-ti Automotive World. "We didn't expect it to last this long," said Peter Dobrovitz, who recently received a kidney transplant and is honorary chairman of the event "We've told them they have to stop by May 28 because that's the day Patti and I are getting married." The contest has attracted a crowd of between 30 and 40 people most of the time, according to Linda Levine, head of the foundation's organ donor program.

"Several restaurants in Marketplace have been Early estimates of the district's projected deficit were as high as $9 million. Board members said the changing figures, while confusing to the public, are unavoidable because of the district's dependence on revenue from the state and the city. The latest revision, said board member Catherine Spoto, "speaks to the difficulty of budgeting when you are dealing in an atmosphere of uncertainty." She said the district will continue lobbying at the state, county and municipal level in an effort to close the remaining gap. But she conceded that postponement of the referendum on the countywide police plan was "a serious blow" to the district's hopes of finding additional revenue. If approved by voters in June, as orginally planned, the police plan could have generated some added revenue for the city and hence the school district for the upcoming fiscal year.

Delaying the referendum until November means the extra income will not be available until the 1984-85 budget year at the earliest Settlement of a lawsuit charging the district with violating the rights of handicapped students has further complicated the financial outlook for the schools. The district's budget planners said last night a resolution of the suit, which is not expected to go to trial, is expected to cost the district $1.4 million next year. The lawsuit, filed in March 1981, charged the district had failed to meet state standards for classifying and placing handicapped students. To comply with the law, the district will have to hire an additional 42 special education teachers in the coming year.

State law allows cities and towns to give their peace officers much the same authority as regular police officers, if desired. The Henrietta peace officers are mainly concerned with gaining arrest power, Lebowski said. Without it, the auxiliary police could only make citizens arrests, with the risk of being sued. Peace officers status also clears them to carry personal firearms, with proper permits, and handle parking and other violations, Lebowski said. But without town authorization, Henrietta's new peace officers won't have any more authority than they do now, Lebowski said.

They'll also lobby the Town Board for some additional authority, Lebowski said. So far, their only request has been for authority to help the fire marshal write tickets for fire lane and handicapped-parking violations, checking shopping plazas for locked doors, permission to go on uniformed patrol in their own vehicles. Town Board members also are satisfied with maintaining the status quo, said councilman Bernard Peter Chatell. firm. Buerman said yesterday the group has an option to buy the Granite Building, which is owned by a Panamanian firm.

He said he did not know what the asking price was. Only the first two floors of the Granite Building are used now. They are occupied by the Lerner Shop. "Currently, the only thing that's up there is dead pigeons above the third floor," Buerman said yesterday. All of that space would be renovated for use as offices.

Harris, Beach, which now has offices in the Crossroads Building, would use "a majority" of the office space, Buerman said. The remainder would be leased. The first two floors of the foot building would continue to be available for retail space. Buerman said it is not certain yet whether Lerner would stay. The exterior of the building's first two floors would be fully renovated, and the metal facade removed.

Both projects must be approved by the six members of COMIDA's board of directors, then by the Monroe County Legislature. The use of COMIDA bonds generally permits developers to borrow money at several percentage points below the market rate. "It will be a total historic rehabilitation of the building," he said. Rose said also plans to build a new, building to the we9t of the warehouse for use by the company as a laboratory. He said the new building, a one- and two-story structure that would cost $750,000, would overlook the linear park along the Genesee River.

The entire warehouse project is to cost $2.8 million, according to DeRitis. Of that total, $1.3 million would come from COMIDA bonds and another $900,000 from a federal Urban Development Action Grant (UDAG) that has applied for through the city. The balance would be private financing, he said. The city now owns the warehouse and the 5 acres of property seeks to develop. Development of the project depends on success of the UDAG grant application, Rose said.

"Hopefully the UDAG will be approved by the city on Friday," he said. The federal Housing and Urban Development office then would have 60 days to approve the grant to the city, which would in turn loan the money to Involved in the Granite Building project is a partnership called Granite Building Associates II. group was formed by Harris, Beach, said Gunther Buerman, a partner in the law 112 Channel Capability Model SY1927 Save $3555 Color TV with stereo amplifier Model SY2579X Save $7277 French Provincial Console 1 rj ft Model SY2577P fBfSlfj fig Contemporary Console TV lil, pMa tT rflLlJ Model SY2573NE fillip.

Medical Center offi-cals said yesterday that 11 of the 20 persons who hold jobs in the Unit Management department will probably be laid off as a result of the reorganization. The reorganization involves abolishing the department of Unit Management. Employees in that department supervise such services as housekeeping and making sure all hospital units, or wards, have the proper supplies. Each of the approximately 20 units in the hospital had a unit manager responsible for those services. Under the reorganization, those Unit Managers will be replaced by five Service Administrators, one for each of the major services at the hospital: surgery; obstetrics and gynecology, medicine; pediatrics and psychiatry.

Some administrative duties will be performed by the head nurse and his or her assistant on each unit The hospital will also further centralize support services such as transportation. It is expected, center officials said, that only 11 management employees will actually be laid off because of the number of vacancies that now exist in the Unit Management Department and the opportunity of that department's staff to apply for the newly created positions. Employees whose jobs are being abolished and who meet the qualifications for the new jobs or any other vacancy at the university will be given preference for that opening, medical center officials said. The reorganization was prompted by a one-year study to look at what would be the most cost-effective way of providing support services to patients.
